Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>A motorist is nursing injuries after he was allegedly clobbered by Wajir Governor Ahmed Mukhtar’s security for overtaking his motorcade.<\/p>\n

A report by People Daily on Monday, November 1, indicated that the victim, Mohammed Abdullahi Nur, sustained injuries that led to him being hospitalised.<\/p>\n

The victim told the police that the incident took place at Buma Airstrip on Saturday, October 30, where they had gone for launch.<\/p>\n

Nur further indicated that he overtook the convoy using his four-wheel drive and arrived at Buma Airstrip ahead of the County boss.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the press, a police officer noted that the driver was also accused of using foul language against the governor and his entourage.<\/p>\n

It was reported that the assault left the victim unconscious before he was transferred to Wajir Referral Hospital where he is receiving treatment.<\/p>\n

“It was later established the reason for the assault was that the said driver had obstructed the governor’s convoy and used foul language against the security detail.”<\/p>\n

“The victim was later rushed to Buna Sub-County Hospital while unconscious where he was referred to Wajir County Referral Hospital,” read the police statement in part.<\/p>\n
